The rear oil seal can't be replaced without removing or at least loosening the oil sump and gasket. The gasket has to locating dowels/nipples that embed into the rear seal.
Fitting the seal is the same as earlier versions, clean riding face for the seal lip and use the plastic fitment sleeve to avoid damage.
I reckon the sump gasket is where leaks are mostly occurring, you need to RTV around that area and I just reckon that with the fiddlyness of fitting the pan and gasket that a good is often lost. It would also be time to put a new gasket on during the change.
